Bitcoin mining is now a specialized and very risky industry, just like gold mining. Amateur miners are unlikely to make much money, and may even lose money. Bitcoin is much more than just mining, though!

Does 8mb or BIP 101 support means XT ?

If the question of the debate is whether block size needs to be increased ? Yes has already won.

But, if the question is whether we should go the XT way, we probably dont know the answer yet.

Thank you.
But there's a thing I can't understand: is it another coin, so I have to buy it, or is it working on the same blockchain of Bitcoin???

Its not another coin. Its an alt wallet client, forked from Bitcoin Core.

Yes it works on the same blockchain.

Best to read the page i linked you.

I don't really get it. This is far from over.
There is no implementation of "only 8 MB without further increase" as far as I know. There is one implementation and that is BIP 101, which has only 0.4 % of the hash rate.
Even if we combine all "none-standard"-blocks. It is still 43.3%

Yep does 8mb support mean they support BIP101?
I doubt so ...

8 MB is bit too much room for all those transactions that no-one wants to send  Wink



Also, jonald's table is garbage apparently: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=1158885.msg12235228#msg12235228

I think that people intentionally spreading false information need to be punished, else there will never be an end to nonsense around here?


BIP 100 support:
DiscusFish / F2Pool
Kano CKPool
BitClub Network


BIP 100 has almost 25% support. I'm starting to think that if another 2-3 pools start showing support for BIP100 that we will be heading down that path.

BIP 100 is clever in the way that it gives more power to the miner (via the voting system) and to be implemented it needs miner support.
This is quite a clever idea to get it out and certainly not the worst solution to me...

If you don't run full node you don't switch. You don't have to do anything really.

Bigger Blocks != XT, please stop believe that the unique way to scale Bitcoin is not using it (and use GavinCoin instead).

It is a matter of time until BitFury switches to BIP100/8mb blocks support. Most big bitcoin names have publicly praised the block size increase, so it would't surprise me if BitFury joins them.

It seems like a matter of (short) time that a bigger blocksize is widely adopted. Hopefully then consensus may be reached again.
